As a person from a state where photo ID's have been required for voting for a very long time, I don't understand the uproar about this issue. I understand that in the places where these new regulations are being proposed that the campaigns backing the voter ID laws are supposedly targeting minorities and..low-mobility…

I've never understood why people claim that Taylor Swift didn't have a sexualized image at the start of her career. She certainly did, but it was more of a "earnest, ethereal virgin" sort of image, rather than the Britney or Christina route that we're all more used to seeing. It was basically her whole appeal - she…

That's a great review! And I agree, a longer series or mini-series version would be an adaptation that could do the books justice.

Ahh, that's good to hear! I quit watching after I saw that Silas and Shane got to Copenhagen (whatever season that was), so I'm glad to hear that there was a happy resolution to it all, haha.

I haven't seen it yet! I'll have to check it out!

Nancy Botwin would have been much more successful if she could have designed a yuppy little weed cafe for her clients to light up at, instead of trying to be a regular dealer. I really can't believe that there aren't more ladies with means jumping at the chance to do this. Perhaps they have less savings to start a…

It is super, super boring. Michelle Dockery is great and all, but really? Vanessa Getty? Half the time she looks like she's one step away from being a "Real Housewife".

The bottom painting really is beautiful and endearing. Who is the lady pictured? Is she Creole?

Fan Bingbing wins any and every fashion review. She is the definition of an international fashion icon. She is daring and flawless at just about every red carpet appearance that she's made in recent years. This list is obviously meaningless.

This, exactly. I never understood why Cuaron got so much praise for his adaptation. Stylistically it wasn't even that great. They took my favorite book and made into what is easily my least favorite movie (although I pretty much hate all of them). The PoA movie was just a mess.

Yeah, I was really impressed by how gender-neutral a lot of the character selection stuff was with Skyrim. I mean, you can choose to design your character in a girly way or whatever, but they had decent, functional looking costumes and the armor wasn't stylized in such a sexual way - it was the same armor for men and…

If you get stuck with the title "biodad" rather than "dad", "father", "stepdad","adoptive dad", "guardian" or whatever, chances are that you're in the running for world's lamest parent.

Yeah, I think that a lot of Pete's storyline seemed really slapped together in the last couple of seasons. The best stuff that he had was with Bob Benson, but all of his affairs and the disintegration of his relationship with Trudy really didn't seem organic. You're right, the writing for Beth's character was terrible…

I can see how that would happen and I hope that they're happy and have a nice, long relationship. Idk, some of the casting in the last couple of seasons really baffled me but Alexis Bledel is kind of known for being a terrible actor so it surprised me that she was included.

Good luck to them and everything, I wish them well, but Ugh! Their Mad Men affair was THE most awkward and boring relationship I've ever seen on that show. I don't know how Alexis Bledel could have gotten hired for that role.

Oh come on, Rowling is responding to the horrific trauma of a young fan in a very sincere and touching way. She's an author, not a medical charity. Should Christian Bale have been on the hook for the medical bills of the people he visited after the Aurora shooting?

There are large public education campaigns underway in all three of the affected countries (Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia), yet many of the people that are at risk of contracting Ebola choose not to believe that it's a communicable disease either because they are wrapped up in conspiracy theories about their…

The serum treatment that the Americans received is experimental and will probably never be a widely produced or distributed treatment because there is no way to do human trials on it. It can't pass FDA regulations (and the drug regulations for many other countries) without showing a certain amount of effectiveness in…

Yeah, it's certainly a concern for people who are unaware that they're dealing with a severe illness like Ebola. It is highly contagious as far as blood/fluid borne viruses go, much more so than HIV. However, people can only transmit the virus when they're symptomatic and most U.S. international airlines and major…

The main reason that a lot of the medical staff in the affected areas have been burying the bodies rather than burning them is because they are trying to attempt to ameliorate a lot of the rural populations that they are working with and accommodate their burial traditions. Most people in these areas attend the…
